Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

For those of us who celebrate, Thanksgiving is only one day away. That means tons of food, family time, and for those of us who are students, a school break.

It’s one of my favorite holidays, and even though there might not be enough time for me to read anything, I wanted to share the feeling of thankfulness to all of you guys through a quick blog post in a simple list format.

These are in no particular order, but each one has made an impact in my life, in one way or another.

** Edit: I tried a new format with this post, so the pictures and words might not allign perfectly. I’m not entirely sure how to fix this, so please overlook it for just this post. Thank you!**

Without further ado, here’s the first of my two Yallfest blog posts!

Well, it’s November…which means that it’s time for NaNoWriMo!

For those of you who don’t know, NaNoWriMo is a non-profit organization that challenges you to write a 50,000-word novel by the end of the month.

Crazy, right?

Maybe. Regardless, I’m still going to give it a go!

I know that there are a ton of other people doing it this year, as well.
If you’re doing it, I’d love to hear about your writing process and your progress! Part of the reason that I’m sharing mine online is to connect with other people who are also participating.

Without further ado, here’s what happened in my writing world, this week.

I know that I said I was going to have two blog posts up last week, but…Hurricane Matthew happened, and slight chaos ensued. I’m back, though, and ready to hop right into the October spirit with the first blog post of the Halloween season: book recommendations, straight from my shelf!
